In the 16th century, a prominent European herbalist claimed that because cultivated tomato plants belonged to the nightshade family—which had a bad reputation at the time—they must be poisonous. This claim wasn't contested for many years. Tomato plants were used for ornamental purposes, but the...
and consistent watering is necessary toavoidblossom-end rot and cracking of the fruits. The plants are susceptible to a number of pests anddiseases, including bacterialwilt, earlyblight,mosaic virus,Fusarium wilt,nematodes, and tomato hornworms. Many of these problems can be controlled withcrop ro...
Greenhouse experiments were conducted to study the chronology of effects on gas exchange and chlorophyll- a fluorescence, visible symptoms and hyphal colonization in plants of the susceptible tomato cultivar Bonny Best inoculated with tracheomycotic fungi Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici or Verticilliu...
first in the cytoplasm and then in the nucleus of infected tomato cells7. Large nuclear aggregates contain infectious virus particles that are transmissible to test tomato plants byB. tabaci. In contrast to TYLCV-susceptible (S) tomatoes, TYLCV-resistant (R) plants respond to TYLCV by a signif...

to health37, especially for some population groups. The high genistin tomatoes we have engineered could be assessed for their dietary impact on a range of disease models, including models for breast and prostate cancer, to define more precisely the effects of dietary isoflavones on these diseases....
The identification of tomato leaf diseases is easily affected by complex backgrounds, small differences between different diseases, and large differences between the same diseases. Therefore, we propose a novel classification network for tomato leaf dise
